Was it a success or not?
For lenses where a pre-made AR option exists, just buying an AR lens is surely the easier and more cost-effective option. But maybe I want an AR lens for my B158 for example…
commercial? i think its a chemical vapor deposition process? dont quote me though…

I am also really interested in this topic.
Any updates on this topic?
Some time ago I mailed several manufacturers of AR coated glass, none agreed to coat Carclo lenses….
